But you don't see it added back?

Change the timestamp method on the event trace to msec granularity
and capture one for me.

I think it's ip cef event CLI parse chain to change the timestamp.

We should not delete the arp entry on a successful refresh.

What I really need is a debug arp at the same time you get
a refresh and the corresponding CEF event log there.
